Update after surgery

I am finally starting to feel well enough to give an update about my surgery. Things were more difficult than we were hoping, but I am finally more back to normal. During surgery the doctor removed the cyst without any problems. However, after doing a sweep to see if there was anything else, the doctor discovered I had an almost complete blockage in my brainstim. It was almost completely blocking any type fluid from moving throughout my brain. The good news is that he was able to completely remove the blockage. However, this did cause
more swelling and air in the brain than was expected. Because of this, I was put into an induced coma for a week, while we waited for the swelling to go down. I now am very close to back to normal. I just have pain in my head, very bad balance, and practically no voice do to the tube while in the coma. We are able to finally go home and the doctor just says it will take time for me to get completely better.
I am very thankful I was able to go to such a skilled doctor. My husband was by my side through everything and I couldn't have done it without him. He has been completely amazing, caring, and patient.
We now are trying to figure out how to make our monthly payments.  I want to give a huge thank you to my company, DJO Global, and fellow employees for helping give to make this easier. I also want to give a huge thank you to my mother-in-laws church, Zionshill Baptist Church, as they have helped give alot to help with this. I can never thank people enough for helping monetarily and encouragingly. Any future help given will be greatly appreciated. This has been an unexpected trial we've been going through, but the encouragement from others has meant the world.
